Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B-.

The war room fell hard for PJ Williams, and it showed at the 257th overall pick: 23 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
They took Caleb Banks at par in No. 26, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A reach for A'Mauri Washington in pick 60; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Nothing to complain about; Zakee Wheatley went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
No drama and no debate, Jadarian Price went about where he belonged in slot 131. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
They did well to land Max Iheanachor in pick No. 168, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
They paid up for Daevin Hobbs at the 241st pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
They liked Brett Norfleet enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 244. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick257 Rnd7 PJ Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: PJ Williams in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
